What to do with them?

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay thanks.
I just want to apologize to everyone for being b**chy and not listening, too.
My mom has an interview next Wednesday, and she applied for another job today, so maybe she'll get one of those..

I think trying to find a kibble they can both eat will be cheaper for you for sure. I hope your mom gets another job real soon.

I don't think you were being B&CHY, just VERY infantile and selfish.

When I was your age, YES 14, and actually younger, I used to babysit or make bracelets, ornaments with cheap beads, have yard sales with my junk and sell them. I'd bake cookies and sell them. I had one dog and it was given to us free.

When my dad was out of a job, with 4 KIDS and a wife to feed, me the oldest, I gave him my stereo, my headphones, my tapes, stuff to sell so we could EAT. I am very proud of what I did to contribute to my family when it was in trouble, not nag on how I wanted this or that.

YOU AREN'T A BABY. STOP ACTING LIKE ONE. GROW UP!

I really don't mean to attack you but this thread really got on my nerves apart from being pointless.

Another question: What on earth were you feeding them when they were eating raw? I thought feeding raw was more expensive than any kibble regardless of wheather they eat it or not or used to or whatever.

I hope your mom gets the job she wants/needs.

Very well said, Carmen..

I just wanted to reply to this..

Raw is actually cheaper if managed correctly. It can save lots of money.

As said, an overall healthy dog won't starve itself and dogs are often wierd when switching over. The best thing to do is if they don't eat it, pick it up and give it at the next meal. More than likely it'll be eaten at the next meal.

Also, Roxyluvsme, a tip..

If you don't want EVERYONES opinions, don't asking for them at all.
Karen should be able to close this thread if need be.

Okay, then why did nobody tell me that when I posted on the what did your dogs eat thread? I still have plenty of meat that would have fed Roxy AND Lily for another week, and my mom would have gladly bought more meat..

I can't answer that question for anyone else, but I don't believe I saw a specific post referring to that.

If you plan to finish off the meat that you have already purchased, and she still doesn't want to eat it, make sure you don't put it out too many times. Meat can spoil easily, but hopefully you knew that.


I don't understand why your mother is willing to buy meat for them, but not a better quality kibble? Do you think coupons for Nutro would sway her thoughts some? That's what got my dad to first feed Nutro.

I mean, Nutro isn't great but it surely beats Kibbles N' Bits & Pro Plan.

It wasn't really specifically asking the question but..
Here
I'd love to put them back on Raw and I gladly would. Their teeth were beginning to look so much better.. Yeah, my mom keeps reminding me .
Edit: I'm sure she would like coupons, but I don't know how much it would affect her. It took me about 2 weeks to convince her over Raw.

I've already offered to sell some of my stuff for my mom, so she won't have to sell her own rings, but she doesn't listen to me, and I also told her to take money out of MY savings account, but she wont :/. Okay, that probably sounds like I'm lying or something, but I'm not.

Question: Chicken leg quarters, thighs, etc.. I spent my own money on meat to last them a little over 2 weeks, (which we still haven't used..) and it was only $7.83. (I gave the change from the $10 to my mom)

No, it doesn't sound like a lie to me.
I really do hope things get better.

[buttercup132]

I dont really see either how getting a new animal you cant afford is a treat for yourself.


And I DO know about your problems..

[beeniesmom]

And I DO know about your problems..

So do I, or I wouldn't have permitted myself to even respond.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Alicia you may know my problems, but why does that matter...? I may not be on PT after tomorrow for a while just to let everyone know..

awww that's so sweet. You give your dad your stuff to sell just so your family can have food on your table. You are very caring This is one of the sweetest stories I 've heard in a while.

It was difficult to write in a public forum but I thought it may help Bri.
It was many years ago.
Just thinking about those times makes me sad.
Fortunately it was only a few years and then things got much better.

I am very happy to hear that everything turned out well for you and your family.
